Day 14: Absolutely! Anything worthwhile requires sacrifices. For example, during Lent, I’m not one to give up a food or vice. That would only make me crabby. Instead, I invest extra time with Christ sacrificing my free time from doing things that do not matter as much. This is an investment in my future.
Judy, you clearly know yourself very well. I love the way you concluded with ‘investment in your future’ amen!
I disagree! In my experience, every good thing that has come to me has been a gift from God, unearned, undeserved–unconditional gift. I have been blessed to be born into a loving family, I’ve had a good job and loyal friends, I live in a free country, I’ve never known war, I am healthy, I’ve always had enough to eat, a home, clothes, more than I need. I’ve done nothing to earn all these favors. They are pure gift not a result of my sacrifice.
Or perhaps, it was Jesus’s ultimate sacrifice (not mine) that opened up the gates of heaven so that these blessings could flow down upon me.
Elaine, you are indeed a very blessed woman!
